I had the best birth experience and I think my husband and I owe so much of it to Susannah! We found her through a friend who also said she loved her birth. Susannah was gentle and supportive while coaching me through my natural birth with the midwives at Mass General. There were times when she would say "they are probably going to want to do (fill in the blank) next" and would prepare me and remind me of by goals for my birth. Her experience and foresight made me feel comfortable and safe going into my first birth. Susannah really trusted my intuition and helped me trust my body. She was also assertive where she needed to be and hands off where she needed to be. I don't think my husband would have made sure I ate and drank as much as she did and I don't think I would have loved my birth if I were dehydrated with nothing to fuel me. When my husband and I were in the middle of the marathon that is birth, Susannah had her eyes on things like the time, who was in the room, etc that allowed us to just focus on getting to meet our little baby boy! My husband and I are already talking about having a "Susannah fund" in our budget for the next baby. It's gotta be Susannah!
